Everything in Louisiana is corrupt, always has been corrupt & always will be corrupt
Prisons are another way for politicians to be corrupt
Republicans & Democrats

More money and more freedom.

It should be higher honestly if you add in the politicians that should be in jail.

Don’t care. We still won the championship.

Someone has to pay for all that freedom.

As someone who works within the system, until we move away from incarceration to more rehabilitation for drug users the rates will remain as they are.
To be clear I’m not advocating taking it easy on violent crimes or the dealers, but we incarcerate way to many people who are simply addicted and then we put them in a place where it is easier to get drugs than on the street (their words not mine). They get out and then the cycle repeats.
Also that second graph coincides with the ramp up on the “war on drugs.”

Iceland’s entire population is 364k. So the entire country has less than 140 people in prison?
In Icelandic prisons, the cells are open and inmates do the weekly food shop

But who is going to look out for the judges, clerks, lawyers, sheriffs, prisons, bail bondsmen, medical staff, govt workers, and corrections officers who will lose their jobs if prison demand gets severely cut, arrests aren't being made, convictions don't happen, etc?
Those folks will not go quietly into that good night.

Why go after dealers if they're not committing other crimes? It seems you're still very pro drug war.

Seems like they are doing something right

We started cracking down on the possession of plants.
History will look back on the WoD like we do prohibition. Insanity in what's supposed to be a free country.
